Pros

Free food and insurance benefits are great. The people you work with are honest and caring, and treat you like a human. There are a lot of events, raffles, and perks that happen frequently.

Cons

The actual work is a nightmare. They have a terrible, almost crooked billing practice that borders on theft. I felt that I was exploiting people. I did not enjoy the work I had to endure, which was mostly hostile people that were screwed over. Nepotism, and a lot of it. People who get promoted are people who go to all the events and devote their lives to the company. I did not see a real work/life balance nor any growth unless I sucked up to the people above everyday. Also, Customer Care is treated like crap from engineers. They do not even look at your nor acknowledge your existence, even though it Customer Care that helps them keep their job. Finally, the pay and any raises to it, is entirely dependent upon the metrics of your work, which is utter non-sense.

Pros

It is the best company I have worked in 20+ years. It goes out of the way to take care of the employees. Great packages, benefits, free catered lunches, snacks, fun events and great culture. Also you get to go to 3 conferences in a year to help you keep updated with latest in technology. It is lively atmosphere where you get exposure to various cloud frameworks and technologies.

Cons

Did not find any during my stay at Spokeo.

Pros

I loved Spokeo. I felt at home with my co-workers and I loved the flat structure, often interacting with the founders of the company. The culture is really the best you could hope for, in large part due to the awesome culture team there, particularly Rene and Nathalie. Great people. They've done so much for the people there and it's not something you can easily find elsewhere. It's not about the extravagant parties... it's about the details, the thought, the care they put into everything. This was also a great place to be able to learn about different roles and get your feet wet, learning new skills from others and growing as a professional.

Cons

The main downside is the emphasis on developers over everyone else. They're paid very well and are taken care of, but some of the other departments don't get nearly as much attention and training. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of co-workers in other departments who are more than willing to help. It's a great group of people hired. The issue comes from the founders and other people should definitely not be blamed for it. Not a big enough of a downside to think poorly of the company, but it was a factor in leaving.
